Hi all. What are the treatments that you've tried since you started TTC? Have you been diagnosed with any fertility issue? Do you feel the pressure building up since it's been more than 6 months since starting TTC?

My story:
I am 36 years old, TTC number 1, with medication, for 5 years (reads ~ having fertility issues) and I've been in-and-out of a fertility clinic for almost 4 years and have spent lots of money on conventional medicine and I've never even once gotten a BFP. I've lost confidence in modern medicine I'd say .

So, now I'm on acupuncture and found that it has helped my overall health greatly. My energy level is high, my period is regularly 30-31 days, I don't have blood clotting, I eat and sleep better. I feel better in body, mind and spirit. I feel very fortunate that I've found traditional chinese medicine and I'm hoping my little miracle will come soon.

Let's hear your story.

For me it would be clomid for 3 cycles and in and out of the fertility doctor for the last 8 months. We are suppose to be doing IVF in the winter if everything goes well financially. We will see. Other than that we have not tried anything else. I have lost some hope myself. I hope it happens for all of us soon!

Well, I honestly haven't done too much for financial reasons. I have been charting, and taking lots of vitamins and such. Daily I take prenatal vitamins, evening primrose oil, green tea pill, folic acid, and after O, I stop the EPO and start taking flaxseed oil. This cycle I am going to add progesterone cream. I did some research and think that might be a lot of my problem.
